Audie Cornish: 本节目讨论了加拿大新任总理马克·卡尼对美国总统特朗普贸易威胁的回应，以及美国政府将关税合理化，称其为打击芬太尼走私的措施。
Alex Thompson: 分析人士指出，美国政府将对加拿大征收关税的部分原因是为其政策寻找法律上的正当性，因为单方面实施大规模关税需要国家安全或安全方面的理由。
Doug High: 将这场冲突定义为“毒品战争”而非“贸易战争”是一种策略，目的是应对批评，并为关税政策提供法律和政治上的理由。
Ashley Allison: 建议民主党不要理会共和党将芬太尼问题作为转移注意力的策略，而是要同情那些受毒品危机影响的人，同时也要关注经济问题，例如鸡蛋价格上涨。
美国政府官员: 美国政府官员声称，对加拿大的关税是为了阻止芬太尼流入美国，如果芬太尼问题得到解决，关税将会取消。
美国总统: 美国总统对关税可能造成的经济冲击表示谨慎乐观，认为这将有助于美国经济的长期发展。

Alex Thompson: 'Well, some of this is about legal justification for it because... for Trump to have the power to unilaterally do these sort of wide tariffs. You have to have sort of a national security or a security rationale for it.'
Doug High: 'flooding the zone with drug war not trade war what do you hear it tells you there's been pushback and they're trying to find new ways to talk about it'
Ashley Allison: 'Well, I think if you consider the Canadian border and the Mexican border, those are, I just feel like two different stories to be told.'
美国政府官员: 'We launched a drug war, not a trade war, and it was part of a negotiation to get Canada and Mexico to stop shipping fentanyl across our borders.'
美国总统: 'I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big.'
Deep Dive
Canada's incoming Prime Minister, Mark Carney, plans to maintain retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. amid a trade dispute linked to fentanyl. The debate centers on the legality and political motivations behind the tariffs.
- Mark Carney, former top banker for the UK and Canada, is set to succeed Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister.
- Carney plans to keep Trudeau's tariffs on U.S. products until the U.S. shows respect.
- The Trump administration claims the tariffs are linked to fentanyl trafficking across borders.
- U.S. border authorities seized less than 1% of all fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year.
